Worst way to die

[MrGiggity]

What would be the worst way to die in your opinion? For me it has to be autoerotic asphyxiation. What an embarrassing way to go out. Drowning is a close second though.

Drowning.

All in all, I probably scared the friend more than I had the presence of mind to be scared in the moment. He had no idea I had no idea how to swim, they were an extremely poor family I knew through church, and all he could do was watch me flail those 30 yards.

I've always felt bad about that. The fear of dying and the relief of surviving was one thing, but he was such a sweet and upbeat kid, and his family were this thing out of what would decade later be known as 'Hoarder's' just old newspapers and discarded fast food containers tossed around their old farmhouse. No electric or gas heat, woodburning stoves only.

I puked 5 min solid at the far shore, then slept in front of the stove for 4 hours after that, then we roasted marshmallows. I can say it would be an exhausting way to die, but I think in the end you would just succumb peacefully.

I've read you get a strong euphoric feeling immediately before dying from drowning.

My main thought in the moment, which didn't register until I was in the thick of it [15 yards between each shore, in simplest terms], was 'you KNEW you couldn't swim you shithead, now get yourself to safety, wherever that is.'

I experienced exhaustion to be sure, can't recall if euphoria was part of the package.

I did strongly sense however, that once exhaustion takes over, the rest is pretty quick, whatever it is.

Huntingtons disease and it isn't even close.

It's progressive and you can end up being so hungry from stomach nerves and tightness in your throat that you can eat yourself or swallow your tongue. It is slow at first then just gets worse. It makes you want to commit suicide there is no cure.

I'm not that familiar with Huntingtons but I am with ALS. You slowly lose the ability to control your body but your mental faculties are 100%. Eventually you drown on your own fluid because your body can't tell your lungs how to function and they fill with fluid. It's agonizing over 4-6 years. It's even worst for all your loved ones around you because you become a shell of yourself. When you want nothing more than to just die, then you know you have about a year left. RIP Darrick

Getting stuck in an elevator with Frazod and KCnative and I have a gun and only one bullet. Suicide out of pure necessity doesn't sound fun.

Methothelioma. Long, painful and almost certain.

The sharp type of asbestos, crocidolite, skewers your lung linings, and works it's way to your abdominal wall. Cancer sets in and you begin to fill with pleuritic fluid, and you dying days is your abdominal linings scraping up against each other with pins and needles embedded in them and fluid building up to be manually drained daily.

Starvation would be pretty shitty.
